How to find posts I initiated?

Can someone tell me how to find posts/topics I initiated?

I had the same problem. I tend to write many posts about other cases and when I tried to look again those related with my own diagnostic and treatment it was almost imposible to find it. I did it recently. I went to dates close to these posts, this is easy with the search tools. Then, I try to remember some people who use to write by then and is not writting recently. Once located I was using the tool of going to the previous thread until I found mine. It is important to realize that the threads are selected according to the last, not the first, entry. Therefore, if you find a thread with a last entry date close to yours, it is easy. Of course, you have to remember dates. Generally speaking, not easy, but possible with good memory.

Under your profile there's a dropdown menu called Edit Email Subscriptions and that will show you all your Subscribed Threads (email notifications of any reply posts).

Thanks guys.

I basically had to find the point in time where I made the post. It took a little bit but it worked out.

Speaking of cumbersome...

There is a way to find all the threads started by any user but it ain't easy. Here's how it goes:

1) Start from the top-level (list of topics) for the prostate cancer forum. Find the "Sort By v" pulldown near the top.
2) Pull down the "Sort By v" menu and select "Started by". The list of topics is now sorted by the member name of the original poster for the thread. There are currently 1461 pages and you are on page 1. The first member, alphabetically, is *JimO* because the asterisk sorts to the beginning.
3) Look at the window at the top of the screen where your browser shows the URL. Mine looks like this:
https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=35&p=1&ord=s
The stuff after the question mark is how the website keeps track of where it is. "f-35" is the prostate cancer forum. "p=1" means page one. "ord=s" means the list is ordered (sorted) by the OP's member name. Your browser will probably let you edit this URL. (If it doesn't you are sunk; it won't work.)
4) We're now going to do a "binary search" of the topics. (Assuming your name isn't *JimO*) Change the "p=1" part of the URL to "p=730" and press enter. That should take you to the middle of the alphabetical list (page 730.)
5) Compare the member name you are looking for to the members who started topics that appear on that page. If your member is on that page then, hooray! you've found him. If the one you are looking for is before the ones you see then you know that the member you are looking for is in the first half of the list (pages 1 through 729) and your next probe should be "p=365". If your member is after the ones on the current page go to "p=1095".
6) Repeat the process described in step 5) -- splitting the difference in the range of pages containing you member's posts -- until you find him. If you are careful to divide the range of pages exactly in half each time it should take no more than 11 probes.
Still with me? Huh. I told you it was cumbersome... but it does let you find all of any member's posts, not just your own.

Cyclone,

FYI

The post I went looking for was the one where I asked for guidance on deciding on an MO. You had responded and I specifically went looking for that advice.
